Guys, I know we get frustrated with incidents that arent our fault, and venting is only natural. However I have clearly stated in the first post that matters will not be resloved in this thread.

It is also down to my discretion how members and penalties are dealt with.

Anyone who has registered at Concours has agreed to abide by the Online Racing Rules and Regulations [OLR]. In which re-joining the track is clearly a subject of sections 14 and 15. Failure to comply with the OLR will result in participants being issued with a warning. The warning is already in place, end of discussion please.



Though I've also ended up with a quote inside a quote when I fixed the slightly broken quote

Made me laugh :lol:

Its back! Top Gears back!!! Sundays are always special here at Concours, but with the F1 calander in full swing, Top Gear on the TV and Concours to look forward to afterward, things just couldnt be better! I think in order to celebrate we need to pay tribute to Clarkson and co. And what better way is there than taking to the Top Gear test track in that fantastic BMW 1M!? None? Ok then, that's what we'll do! :D

Scheduled Event: Sunday 3rd 9pm (BST)
Track: Top Gear test track [1] Tsukuba Circuit [-] Deep Forest Raceway / Reverse [-] High Speed Ring / Reverse [-]

Car: BMW 135i Coupe '07
Tyres: Sport Hard
Aero Parts: Front Aero Type A
Tuning Parts: Weight reduction Stage 1, Sport Exhaust, Low RPM turbo, Sport Flywheel, Carbon Propeller Shaft, Fixed Sport Kit [suspension]
Settings: Power Restrictor @ 92.6% [335bhp] +86kg Ballast
Traction Control: Optional
Brake Bias: Optional
ABS: Optional
Pit Stop: Mandatory


: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION :


Some of you may of been excited to see the Top Gear test track in the schedule this week. However, we will never race here. As you will all know it is a figure of 8. Destruction Derby, Concours is not! Instead, the reason we are visiting this hallowed testing ground, is to qualify! :dopey: Yep. One at a time in a single lap race, we each get one chance against the clock to put in our best time! Bring a beer and a sense of humour because this one may be funny! I will record times and the grid for race one will reflect performace at TGTT. Subsequent races will be reverse grid and quick fire.




Happy Racing Campers 👍

:lol: Nice! 👍

Althought that Crispy needs taking down a peg or two!! ;)


Would be nice to see you around again too mate. You were one of the first guys to race Concours in the 458's. It'd be a pleasure to have you back. I know some of the guys will of missed battling with you.
 
2 words, awesome and awesome, in relation to video and next weeks combo. TGTT qualy should be interesting, though a track I've only driven for the special events so could be an interesting lap accident :lol:. Reverse grids to, my favourite leads to even more overtaking I also think the slower car will result in cleaner racing as it seems the mid field was having some trouble this weekend particularly shown in race 2 (I assume there was accidents which caused me and Douqa to be lapping people by lap 4!).
 
Some good racing last night guys. You guys should be in the movies.

Oh! You are.

:D
Great video. 👍
You guys raced the 458 in Madrid?? You guys are nuts. :sly:
One thing... We should state our number when racing RM'ed cars, no?? Was I the only orange Elise nº 1?? If so great Douqa. Plenty of air time for me. It will be good to get some sponsors. :sly:
 
I'm not sure who was who but I suspect there were a few number 1's flying about, if you catch my drift.

Thanks Roh. It took me all afternoon pretty much. Oh and do you mind if I borrow your Concours banner? :)

Haha!! No mate, not at all.

Infact to show my appreciation, well... just check the first post ;)👍

thanks for stealing my thunder though! :lol: I thought this weeks combo would be the subject of much talk :(


:D:tup:

Ah, stupid slow internet won't let me watch this. I will never ever complain about the internet at home again.

Yup, have had some good battles with blaquejacque in the past, and zeeco. Speaking of which I wonder where all the old guys have gone.:(

Wasn't as bad as me and a couple of others practising at Trial Mountain.:lol:
 
As I joined the SSCS, I thought why not join the Concours Club too.:dopey:

First I want to say that I can't perticipate all races.
1. Do you agree to abide by the rules and regulations outlined in the OLR? Yes.
2. Have you read all 3 opening posts fully? Yes.
3. Is there anything you dont understand? No.
4. Are you willing to perform a few test laps to prove your respectful racing credentials? Yes.
Post your answers along with your PSN My PSN is GTP_w-g-e

Looking forward to seeing you on track.:)

I know mate.. I dont know why you look so happy though! :lol: I'm bored of losing! :P


Welcome WGE 👍 I know you from WRS, and I also know you are very, very fast! Just try not to annoy everyone at Concours by winning every week :lol:

Look forward to racing you mate, have fun and race hard 👍

I don't mind loosing if I have great fights in the middle of the pack...

What??
Ofcourse I hate loosing. But loosing to such fearsome competition makes it a bit better.
...
Less bad maybe. :sly:

:lol:

Exactly my sentiments mate. When you're having a good day and you can fight for the lead among great talent it is very rewarding.

Wherever you end up in the grid at Concours though there is great battles to be had. Everyone is clean and fair, and thats what makes me happy. Winning always comes second to great racing in my opinion 👍

This is what makes Concours great. The length of the races for example, short enough to feel like a sprint, long enough to be able to catch someone and have a battle. The person in charge always picks good cars, it was only the Evo from week 3 that had understeer, and even that was just an optional car. You will not get bored in these races.👍
 
I might make a comeback this week, how many people you roughly getting in a lobby? I see a few if the same faces are still there. And hopefully I won't be the victim of lag, hopefully see you all sunday.
 
I edited my first post in this thread.(2nd reply) with the list of winners I made up on the last page, I will update it weekly.👍

Also, I noticed that as much as Crispy has a habit of getting first, Captain Disaster has a habit of getting 3rd. He has managed it 5 times!

Good consistency but it must get frustrating.
 
DUDE ROH OMG!!!

Great idea for this weeks combo, very much looking forward to this. I dunno how you think of great ideas!!!

Hello mate 👍 long time no see! I knew Shift couldnt keep you occupied forever ;) lol.
Would be great to have you back dude, the grids are pretty much the same as they always were. Last week we had 14 on track, second only to the 16 racer grids in early doors. A regular race weekend sees 10 as an average though.

Get some practice in, join some random lobbies and see how your lag situation is. I remember you overhauling your internet connection shortly after leaving us, so hopefully any problems will be resolved by now.

Anyway nice to see ya. Hopefully race ya later :)👍

ARRRHHHH!!! :lol:

Cheers mate. I'm looking forward to this as well. Qualifying with a twist ay! ;) All eyes on you, one chance... should be great fun.

If anyone feels up to some Jeremy Clarkson style commentary that would be epic. :lol:
